WEBVTT 95 OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES ON NOTICE THAT BUDGET CUTS COULD ELIMINATE THEIR JOBS. >> $26 MILLION, WE’RE 85% PEOPLE, SO WE’RE LOOKING AT SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CUTS, I THINK. FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK THE LARGEST CUT IS COMING FROM CENTRAL OFFICE. REPORTER: OUTGOING SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT MARK EVANS SAYS OFFICE JOBS ALONE COULD SAVE MORE THAN $10 MILLION. THEY MAY FIND OTHER JOBS IN THE DISTRICT, BUT THAT COULD COME WITH A PAY CUT. >> WE DO THINK THAT WITH MOST OF THESE REDUCTIONS, WE WILL HAVE A JOB FOR THEM, IT JUST MAY NOT BE THE JOB THEY HAD. REPORTER: EVANS SAYS CLASSROOM TEACHERS ARE SAFE, BUT SOME VICE PRINCIPALS MAY END UP BACK IN THE CLASSROOM. OMAHA EDUCATION ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT BOBBY MILLER SAYS THE RESHUFFLE IS STILL UP IN THE AIR. >> WE JUST KNOW THAT THERE’S THAT POSSIBILITY OF THE ADMINISTRATORS, WHOEVER HAVE BEEN RE-DEPLOYED, AND COME BACK INTO THE CLASSROOMS, BUT HOW THAT WILL LOOK, WE DON’T KNOW. REPORTER: OTHER OPTIONS INCLUDE ELIMINATING HIGH SCHOOL BUS ROUTES, MOST ELEMENTARY SUMMER SCHOOL, CUTS TO ATHLETIC PROGRAMS -- NO WORD WHICH ONES -- AND SLASHING OVERTIME. EVANS POINTS TO A DROP IN STATE FUNDING, AND AN UNDERFUNDED PENSION. THE CUTS WOULDN’T HAPPEN UNTIL THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, BUT EVANS JUST WANTS EMPLOYEES TO HAVE TIME TO PREPARE. >> WE ALSO REALIZE THERE ARE SOME OF THEM THAT MAY WANT TO LOOK FOR OTHER OPPORTUNITIES, BECAUSE THEY’RE FEARFUL THIS WILL BECOME A PERMANENT REDUCTION, AND WE WANTED TO GIVE THEM AS MANY OPPORTUNITIES AS THEY COULD GET AS WELL. REPORTER: THE COMMITTEE HAS ONE MORE MEETING THIS THURSDAY BEFORE THE BOARD VOTES ON MAY 5. ONLI
